a largely attended meeting last evening. The ques
ton before the meeting the present demand for
10 or IS per cent advance in wagesa question SUBJ
mitted by the national organization to be decided by
the of the local unions throughout the country
1t argued that other should first be
ed to to obtain the desired advance and that would
be much more satisfactory if the national board
could. by conference with the manufacturers
bring about aricable agreement the question of
wages The proposition to demand 10 per cent in
crease was rejected. reason for this. stated
by member. that the union preferred to be
guided TO some extent by the stove-noders of Gin
cinnati. who had lken action yet. Another
reason was that the conditions in Chicago not
favorable for such demand the present time. and
that it would be unwse under the circumstances to
attempt to enforce it.

belong to the two orders. Both of the ordera
are favorable to arbitration. while the former at
least is so committed in its constitution that q
strike cannot be entered till after every effort
at arbitration has failed. A strike, therefore,
would be out of order. But strikes are gener.

to the orders may prscipitate a strike. Arbitra-
